Hey everyone,

I'd like to share what we have been working on for the past little while. 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NnrMiT4TmCk

hyperPad's a powerful game creation platform on iPad that lets you make amazing mobile games quickly and easily. You can think of it as Unity(2D), or Construct but on the iPad. You get the portability of an iPad, without sacrificing the usability of a proper game creation platform.

We're still actively in development, and have some amazing stuff coming out (you can see our roadmap here: https://trello.com/b/EmwcGN1T/road-map-and-known-bugs )

I was hoping to get some feedback from an artists point of view. Get feedback on your workflow with our app, if there is anything missing that we should prioritize, or if anything just really sucks when it comes to getting your art to work with hyperPad.

You can download hyperPad from here: https://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/id886106438?mt=8

Also here are some promo codes to get it for free. Again, I'd really appricate any feedback you can provide :).

A few big things coming in the next update (at the end of April):
  • Support for multiple aspect ratios (iPhone)
  • iPad and iPhone viewer apps so you can share your work in progress with friends and family easily
  • Portrait support

    Hey All, 

    We just released a new version (1.13) the other day. Adding some new features, and a bunch of bug fixes.

    Most importantly, the latest update adds support for iPhone Exporting, and new tools to design games for multiple aspect ratios!

    You can download the latest update here: https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id886106438?pt=467885&ct=polycount&mt=8
    As always, it's a free update for existing users :).

    And again, if you have any feedback or questions I'm happy to hear them :smiley:

    This looks great! I wish I had an iPad to try it out. You might try contacting colleges or universities with game design courses, see if their students could use it in return for feedback.

    Thanks! We tried reaching out to some colleges no word back yet. There have been some schools who have found us on their own, so that's pretty exciting!

    Few exciting things we're working on:
    • Dynamic lighting (no normal maps just yet.. But it's planned!
    • HTTP Requests, and Sockets! (Access servers, and do multiplayer stuff)
    • State based animations

    Hey all, we just released another update! hyperPad 1.14 is now available in the App Store and includes some cool new features, and bug fixes!

    DOWNLOAD
    https://itunes.apple.com/app/apple-store/id886106438?pt=467885&ct=polycount&mt=8

    New Features:

    • Color Blending options for objects: Your object colors can look different based on what is behind the object. Similar to photoshop blend modes. Includes: Normal, Dodge, Burn, Screen, Disable
    • For Each Behavior: Repeatedly trigger connected behaviors a certain amount of times. Includes For-Loop functionality from traditional programming languages!
    • Improved Drag & Drop BehaviorYou can now restrict dragging to X or Y directions, or a specific area.
    • Better Object Flipping: Flipping object now sets the scale to -100 instead. Flips collisions and anchors!
    • Revamped Save Behavior: Saving is now much easier! All of your saves are stored in a single place, and any new save behavior can select what to save. So you no longer need to have your save logic in one place.
    • Reset Save Data: From the hyperPad menu you can reset all the save data. This is great for testing purposes
    • School Logins: Schools can now sign up to have their own private hyperPad hub. This means that your students can share their work with only their classmates. Students also get to take advantage of PRO features like 10gb of cloud backups, and exporting to the App Store! You can learn more by going to https://www.hyperpad.com/education
